A T an early age, Louis Pasteur, the famous French chemist and bac- teriologist, concluded that the three words which hold the deepest meanings are will, work, wait. When Pasteur was 19, he wrote a letter to his sisters elaborating on his theory. According to Louis Untermeyer in his book Makers of the Modern Word, Page 103, Pasteur wrote: "To will is a great thing, for Action and Work follow Will, and almost always Work is accompanied by Success. Will opens the doors: Work passes them, and Success is Waiting to crown one's efforts." The American College Encyclopedia Dictionary definitions of these three key words mentioned by Pasteur are worth considering. Will is defined as the "conscious choice as to action or thought." Work is declared to be the "exertion of body or mind in performing or accomplishing something." Wait means to "remain in a state of quiescence or inaction, as until something expected shall happen." While Pasteur was referring to success in a temporal sense, it is my feeling that these same three words can also be applied in a spiritual sense. It is my conten- tion that a proper application of definitions to the life of the sincere seeker of salvation will assure victory. Will, work, wait! Firstly, before individuals can begin the march to the Kingdom of God, they Robert H. Carter must make a conscious choice to serve the Lord. A fixed decision is essential: in President the words of the Negro Spiritual, "I've started to make heaven my home." This Lake Union Conference is what is defined as the will. Secondly, who will deny that some tangible effort must be put forth by the individual to accomplish what he has decided. There is a vital role that every soul must play in the salvation process. In Philippians 2:12, we are admonished to "work out (our) own salvation with fear and trembling." This is not meant to imply that man's salvation rests entirely on his own works. Rather, it reinforces the fact that action is required on the part of those desiring eternal life. Note the following quote from the pen of Ellen G. White in Testimonies for the Church, Volume 4, Pages 32 and 33. She says: "Man must work with his human power, aided by the divine power of Christ, to resist and to conquer at any cost to himself. . . . Man must do his part; he must be victor on his own account, through the strength and grace that Christ gives him." This is what is defined as work. Thirdly, after we have willed to make Heaven our home and worked to the end, we must patiently wait for our Redeemer's return. Lamentations 3:25 and 26 supports this statement: "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord." A supporting statement is found in Ellen G. White's Selected Messages, Book 2, Page 242: "More is needed of the quiet waiting and watching combined." Will! Work! Wait! These three words do, indeed, have deep meanings.
